These 16-inch semi-erect plants bear a uniformly maturing crop all season long. Blue Lake produces plump, round, tender dark green beans that are about 6 inches long. The meaty stringless pods are a good source of vitamins A and C, iron and calcium. Equally great flavor whether used fresh or frozen, enjoy these beans all year. For best flavor pick early in the morning after the leaves are dry. Pick beans continuously during the season to prolong their production.
Chef Jeff’s Tip: Plant beans away from basil, fennel, garlic and onions. Beans are compatible next to beets, carrots, chard, corn, cucumber, eggplant, peas, radishes and strawberries in the garden.
